Message to the CJFL Family

With the onset of the coronavirus crisis, the Canadian Junior Football League has suspended all team activities and events until further notice.

The growing outbreak of COVID-19 has affected each one of us in multiple ways, our families, friends, and communities. Our thoughts are with you and your families in these uncertain times. Now more than ever, we can all appreciate just how small the world truly is, and the importance of coming together to protect our global community in times of great need.

It is hard to navigate the unknown, but as we continue to better understand how to slow the spread of COVID-19 we want to do all we can to keep our players, coaches, and local communities safe. There will be a time when we can return to competing on the field. This will be determined with the advice of medical and public health experts. Until then, I would like to thank the players, coaches, fans, and local communities for their understanding, patience, and continued interest in the Canadian Junior Football League. From all of us at the CJFL, please stay safe and stay healthy. 

Jim Pankovich
CJFL Commissioner
